There has always had a lump in my throat when these stories popped up. The kids explanations were let say a bit creepy.. And the memory regression, aided by hypnosis, was unbelievable.

This man should
never have gone to prison. The Massachusetts legal machine just couldn't NOT convict him, his mother and sister.
What a travesty!

the whole story is pathetic...but I see that the parents have 20 million reasons to keep up this charade...
I guess I don't mean charade...the parents probably actually believe this crap, but its those evil interogators who seemingly coerced the children to make up stories....

janet reno and a other prosecutors around the country road this questionable method of child testimony to fame and fortune only to have most of the cases thrown out on appeal.
I'm sure the parents are all upset. but how could a group of people do these mystery room things and hang naked kids up without someone talking long before the wierd actions of these "doctors"? i'm not buying this especially after the details of the WSJ and frontline investigations showed how much junk was created to hound these adults.

There was a big case here in San Diego in the early 90's. Same kind of thing. What made it even more emotional is that the guy was physically disabled and apparently beloved by everyone. The stories were ridiculous and for months it was headline news. When the jury went to deliberate, they came back in five minutes with a not guilty plea and the police Dept. gave the guy a limo to take home. It was so obvious what was going on. But the guy spent alot of time in jail. For Nothing. Does anyone remember the case? I'm going to try to look it up and post a story on the details. I always thought it would make a great movie.
